This may be a controversial opinion, but it’s not fun when the Red Sox lose. Especially not when they take a loss from the jaws of victory. Usually, when we lose, there’s another team consistently losing right along with us, making the sting hurt just a little less. That team is usually the birds of Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles, who have occupied that last place slot every year since 2016, if we pretend that the shortened and crowd-noise-piped season of 2020 didn’t exist, which I’d be perfectly fine with.
This should be the Orioles right now.
Or, at least, that’s what we’ve been conditioned to think.
